Mica View

A view through a piece of transparent rock, otherwise known as mica. It must have been strange finding things like this on the ground before glass was discovered.

Behind the Mount Isa mine site on Mica Creek you can see this view. This particular afternoon included clouds which added something different to the panorama.

Trees With Cloud

In the outback one always finds surprising pieces of artwork waiting to be observed.

Finding ISON

With a little help from my star app SkySafari and a digital zoom, I was able to locate comet ISON in this image at the bottom left corner of the zoom box. It really is there, just very tiny and faint. This was taken at approximately 4:30am Wednesday, November 20, 2013.
